What If?2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

I've been reading XKCD comics and What Ifs for a few years now because of how captivating Randall Munroe's work is and this book is no exception. It's a collection of well executed thought experiments with a keen sense of humor that results in a really entertaining and insightful book, I heavily recommend it.

A very good book that tells how to breakdown problem, analyse it and find out answers.The First version seemed slightly better though. Mr.Munrow seemed to be taking a bit of "shortcuts" in the version -2.

Answered most of my questions

"This book is much more entertaining than part one. The content feels more relatable, and the explanations are clear and easy to follow. Some of the questions and their answers are truly mind-blowing."Only disappointment is the font size else the feel and quality of the book is very good.

I totally loved this book, it has amazing concepts to read.

I like it, its wayyyy better than scrolling on youtube

We often ask absurd hypothetical questions and are left unsatisfied with the answers given. This book, however contains most of the hypothetical question we often ask to ourselves and the author has explained the answers with scientific background such as what if humans disappear, or how many humans does a dinosaur need to eat in order to survive and so on. Definitely worth buying.

It was good hope that what if 3 will come soon really like this book just it looks like it was dropped while delivering

I love the humour, excellent books I would recommend for fun and light reading

While What-If 1 was a surprising hit, the second one definitely built on the hype of first one and kept the going with the base thought, that made the first one so good. It's really like 'don't fix what isn't broken'.I really enjoyed it and highly recommend to anyone who liked the first one. Even without reading the first one, it's a great standalone book too.
